A classic view from the railway of the Palace of Westminster, which the last time the photographer was there was spoiled by even more tree growth along the Albert Embankment, with 3202 leading 3201 out of Waterloo International through Vauxhall with the 14:23 to Bruxelles Midi on 19th October 2000.
Only about half a mile south west of the above photograph and by now dominated by the urban semi-industrial landscape, 3202 has crossed the South West Main Line and is on the Stewarts Lane Viaduct heading towards Linford Street Junction again on its way to Bruxelles, this time with train 9124, the 10:43 departure from Waterloo International on 13th November 2007.
About a minute later 3202 is at Factory Junction, where we get a good view of one of its conductor rail pick-ups in contact with the third rail and, unfortunately, a bird-strike. 13th November 2007 was the last day of operation using DC conductor rail pick-up...
...and a few moments later we get a good view of the dining side of its catering vehicle 3732026.
The driving motor car of 373202 at St. Pancras International on the morning of 31st August 2009.
